Posted July 27, 201212 yr Back in 2006 a few of us put together a number of threads on the UKMix forums which covered most of the Irish charts between 1976 and 1999. I have recently come into possession of the Top 15 charts for the first 6 years of the 70s and have started posting them over there. As none of the charts were ever posted here I have decided to do 3 threads - each one covering 1 decade! In 1970 the weekly chart stretched to 20 positions but I'll only be posting the Top 15s as that is what I was provided with. Where it has been possible to work out any information about positions 16-20 I will add those. The aim with the 70s charts is to post one month's worth each night. To start off with though I'll post 2 months tonight! Edited July 28, 201212 yr by Shaky Fan

July 29, 201212 yr Author That was all that was ever available - in fact I doubt that a chart with more positions was even produced. The Top 40 first became available to the public via the Pop TV programme on TG4 in the 90s but prior to that RTE stuck to the Top 30. Edited July 29, 201212 yr by Shaky Fan
